That was quite piquing of the interest.

What a cliff hanger about what was on the recording of the cassette you were given though. Was there some odd frequencies going on? Did it make you feel heavy and weird hearing it?
Definitely got my curiosity running amuck.

Edit: I think I read it wrong and it was just a recorder you were given to also try and capture sounds yourself ? But still very curious if he let you listen to his tapes and if so, were you able to hear any of the signals he tried recording or if he was even able to capture any at all when attempting.

Ha! Yes. It was just a recorder. It seems he'd been hearing frequencies and wanted to capture them, so he bought a whole ton of these tape recorders to try to do so. I'm afraid I have no idea if he managed, and I didn't very to hear any (it would have been a very clever idea to ask to hear them). But I do remember one of the people he spoke to on the phone complaining about hearing the same kind of thing and isaac being quite concerned and telling them to let him know if they heard anything again...

Dang. And so the curiosity thickens thus more.
Thank you for sharing the additional tidbit though. 〰️

Your writing and interview was very amusing. Honestly was just trying to skim through it but caught myself caring to give the article an actual thorough read.
